Andrea Bocelli’s son Matteo Bocelli sings Elvis Presley’s Love Me Tender – WATCH
Andrea Bocelli has covered a couple of Elvis Presley tracks in recent years, including Can’t Help Falling In Love and Love Me Tender. But did you know his son Matteo Bocelli has also shared his takes on The King’s classics too? Captured three years ago, the young singer gives a stunning performance in the video below.
Elvis fans will know Love Me Tender as one of The King’s first big hits and that it was also the title of his acting debut in the 1956 movie of the same name.
Love Me Tender’s lyrics are credited to both Elvis and Ken Darby under the pseudonym of Vera Matson, the name of the latter’s wife.
While the melody is adapted from an American Civil War Ballard called Aura Lee.
Elvis famously performed Love Me Tender on The Ed Sullivan Show on September 9, 1956 before its release. Matteo Bocelli has also song Elvis’ Blue Hawaii movie hit Can’t Help Falling In Love.
